5. Thanks, President Biden.

This made me cry - the Hortmans, and seeing that little urn for Gilbert, and Joe Biden paying his respects. So much goodness in the midst of Trump's wreckage.

6. True humility and kindness

I am so sorry for this tragedy, and I am so sorry that Joe was treated the way he was. He is a good man.

11. VERY mixed reaction

My first reaction to this story was pride in Joe Biden a kind and decent man; thanks for decent people like Biden and the Hortmans; and deep sadness at the loss.

Then I became very, very angry at Txxxx and his cult who have no decency, no goodness, and no humanity.

I’m 80 and live near DC. If I’m alive when Txxxx dies and if he lies in state in the Capitol, swear I’ll sneak a bottle of piss into the rotunda and smash it on him.

13. I'm not able to stop crying after reading about the poor dog

and how he is being honored and remembered.

It's a good thing for the murderer that I will not be on his jury. My mind is already made up.

14. Earlier in the day Biden visited Sen. John Hoffman at the hospital

He's dying of cancer and yet he does all this

"John’s condition continues to improve. He is alert, he’s been up walking around and is able to eat. He’s also giving the State Troopers guarding him some grief," Yvette Hoffman said.

15. This tragedy is compounded by the murder of Gilbert.

I'm glad he has been included to lie in state in the capitol.

[GopherGal]

16. To me, this invalidates any criticism that there was a nefarious cover-up of Biden's cancer.

Whatever his condition, he's better able to fulfill the role of President than the sac of protoplasm that currently holds that office.

18. Plus he and Kamala wouldn't have insulted the new leader of the free world

for not wearing wearing a suit to the Oval Office.

They always got along well with Volodymyr's predecessor Angela, as well.

17. I loved the way that President Biden stopped to comfort one of the dogs who were part of this funeral

I have a host of reasons for not liking trump. The fact that trump does not have a dog says a great deal about trump
